Why Joshua Uche Passed Other Offers To Re-Sign With Patriots
Joshua Uche acknowledged his decision to re-sign with the New England Patriots this offseason prompted some to call his “crazy.” “It's great to be back,” Uche said at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. Uche signed a one-year, team-friendly contract with the Patriots this offseason. Uche did not weigh in on the difference in finances, but confirmed he had other teams seeking him out on the open market.

Expert Commentary
The Patriots got a dynamite prospect in Drake Maye. Maye did a ton of heavy lifting for the Tar Heels last season and is a player with legitimate superstar upside. He's just 21 years old and has already shown flashes of elite downfield, tight-window accuracy to go along with fantastic running ability for a bigger quarterback. Home run pick for the Patriots as they officially start a new era for the franchise.

Expert Commentary
The Patriots are giving Drake Maye a rookie wide receiver to run with next year. The Patriots needed to add receiver talent to their roster in the draft and found a tough player to help in the slot for their offense. Polk might not be a burner, but he should be a strong option over the middle of the field for the Patriots.

Solid pick up for the Patriots, who can have a long-term right tackle to protect Drake Maye. Wallace might not be ready to play right away, but he really does have the movement skills and talent to be a starting tackle down the road.
